  As far as I know, Henninges produced two books in German: "Das Unerschutterliche Reich" (The Unshakeable Empire) and "Die Neue Zeit" (The New Time).

  When I saw a copy of the former book in the 1970s, I photocopied the Intro and Contents pages, as well as the Time Chart. I have provided a scan (420k) of those pages at:

  I would appreciate an accurate translation of the Intro and the Contents. It is clear that Henninges had his work translated for him, so I wonder if there is an English original?

  I would also appreciate seeing a similar scan of the other German book.

  I went to the link you provided and could't figure out how to get to the file......I'm a bit challenged with the technical stuff so I'm sure it's there I just can't figure it out.

  Anyway have you tried http://babelfish.altavista.com/

  Bikerchic,

  Sorry that I failed you.

  When you go to the site, go down to the bottom of the page. After a short while, possibly 30 seconds, you will see a large coloured button appear towards the left that says "Download". Click it and then decide where you want to save the file on your computer.

  It's a PDF file, so you will need a PDF Reader program, which is freely available from places such as Adobe.

  Let me know if you still have difficulties and I will be only too glad to email it directly to you.

  My problem with making the translation is the difficulty I have in working out some of the German letters.

  I finally figured it out Doug. <slaps forhead, d'oh>

  I don't know German but I will show this to my husband who does have an understanding of German and perhaps tomorrow he will be able to give you a reply.

  Hello Doug.

  My dear wife overstated my understanding of German, especially when it is in the older text (as your link provides). While I've enjoyed learning a fair bit about German (a few college courses), I would be a poor choice to help you in translating these books.

  I would suggest that perhaps you could contact GermanXJW.

  Hello Doug!

  I will do my best in translating your request. I printed the intro and the table of contents out and will take it to work with me, and do it there. It is in the Old German format, which in itself is a bit of a challenge, but I will do my best.
